Actually, that's a very good sign, because it shows where the problem is, and I
suspect there's a work-around.
Go into the BIOS configuration and check what the interface options are for the
disk. If there's an option for AHCI, try it instead. (Aside: per another
thread on disk performance, I reconfigured a desktop of mine to use AHCI
instead of the default SATA. I literally got a 10x performance improvement.)
